As I said, the previous window was 8 years. Presumably schools are able to get end up with enough 8 year EOL laptops to have caused a storm about it. If they were manage cause that miracle, then they can probably manage to get enough of them to 10 years as well.

(And yes, I know what the real answer is - they bought bargain bin laptops like 4-6 years after RTM, so they only have like 2-4 years of actual wear and tear on them. Given their carelessness the first time, I wouldn't rule out a repeat in 2 years).
